Construction and Validation of New Electrochemical Carbon Nanotubes Sensors for Determination of Acebutolol Hydrochloride in Pharmaceuticals and Biological Fluids

A simple, rapid and a highly selective method for direct electrochemical determination of acebutolol hydrochloride (AC) was developed. The developed method was based on the construction of three types of sensors conventional polymer (I), carbon paste (II) and modified carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) carbon paste (III). The fabricated sensors depend mainly on the incorporation of acebutolol hydrochloride with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) forming ion exchange acebutolol‐phosphotungstate (AC‐PT). The performance characteristics of the proposed sensors were studied. The sensors exhibited Nernstian responses (55.6 ± 0.5, 57.14 ± 0.2 and 58.6 ± 0.4 mV mol L^?1) at 25 °C over drug concentration ranges (1.0 × 10^?6‐1.0 × 10^?2, 1.0 × 10^?7‐1.0 × 10^?2 and 5.0 × 10^?8‐1.0 × 10^?2 mol L^?1 with lower detection limits of (5.0 × 10^?7, 5.0 × 10^?8 and 2.5 × 10^?8 mol L^?1 for sensors (I), (II) and (III), respectively. The influence of common and possible interfering species, pharmaceutical additives and some related pharmacological action drugs was investigated using separate solution method and no interference was found. The stability indicating using forced degradation of acebutolol hydrochloride was studied. The standard addition method was used for determination of the investigated drug in its pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological fluids. The results were validated and statistically analysed and compared with those from previously reported methods.     

Cloud point variation of amphiphilic drug promethazine hydrochloride with added surfactants

In this paper we report clouding phenomenon occurring in an amphiphilic phenothiazine drug promethazine hydrochloride (PMT) in presence of surfactants. Cationic and nonionic surfactants increase the CP of 75 mM PMT solutions (prepared in 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer). These surfactants form mixed micelles with PMT. Anionic surfactants also form mixed micelles with the drug but the CP behavior is different by showing a peaked behavior. At low concentrations, anionic surfactants hinder micelle formation by forming ion-pairs whereas the usual CP decreasing effect at higher concentrations is due to mixed micellization. The CP behavior of 75 mM PMT+50 mM TBAB+surfactant systems is also explored which is found similar to PMT+surfactant systems with the difference only in magnitude of the clouding temperature.     

Aggregation behavior and interaction of an amphiphilic drug imipramine hydrochloride with cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide: light scattering studies

The aggregation behavior and interaction of an amphiphilic antidepressant drug imipramine (IMP) hydrochloride with the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) have been studied using light scattering (both static and dynamic) techniques. Due to rigid tricyclic hydrophobic moiety present in the molecule, the drug shows interesting association behavior. The static light scattering measurements show that the self-association of IMP commenced above a well-defined critical micellar concentration (CMC), which decreases with increasing the mole fraction of the CTAB surfactant. Both the excess Gibbs energy (ΔG(ex)) and the Gibbs energy of micellization (ΔG(M)°) are negative, and decrease with increasing mole fraction of the surfactant. The hydrodynamic diameters (d(h)) of the micellar aggregates were also evaluated using the dynamic light scattering measurements. The data indicate formation of larger aggregates by IMP and CTAB due to mixed micellization and subsequent micellar growth. The results have been analyzed using different models (viz., Clint, Motomura, Rosen, Rubingh, etc.) for mixed micelle formation.

Generation of anti-trenbolone monoclonal antibody and establishment of an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of trenbolone in animal tissues, feed and urine

Trenbolone (TRE) is a steroid used by veterinarians on livestock to increase appetite and body weight. The use of TRE has been restricted because of its harmful side effect for consumers. To effectively control TRE residue in food and food product, a rapid and convenient immunoassay was developed by preparing an anti-TRE monoclonal antibody. The immunogen and coating antigen were prepared by coupling TRE hapten with carrier proteins via 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) method. The optimized method gave an average IC₅₀ value of 0.323 ng mL⁻¹ towards TRE and an average detection limit (LOD) of 0.06 ng mL⁻¹, which is much lower than the maximum residue levels (2.0 ng g⁻¹) accepted by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). The specificity of the antibody was evaluated by measuring cross-reactivity of six structurally related compounds, including 19-nortestosterone (9.7%), testosterone (0.13%), methyltestosterone (<0.01%), methandrostenolone (<0.01%), (+)-dehydroisoandrosterone (<0.001%) and β-estradiol (<0.001%). The recovery rates of the test in detection of TRE-fortified animal tissue, urine and animal feed samples were in the range of 81.3-89.4%, while the intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were less than 12.0%.

Determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and its application

A sensitive and selective liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma was developed. After addition of doxapram hydrochloride as internal standard (IS), protein precipitation by 10% trichloroacetic acid was used as sample preparation. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax SB-C(18) (2.1 × 50 mm, 3.5 μm) column with acetonitrile-water as mobile phase with gradient elution. An electrospray ionization source was applied and operated in positive ion mode; multiple reaction monitoring mode was used to quantification using target fragment ions m/z 349.9 → 223.5 for azasetron hydrochloride and m/z 378.9 → 291.8 for the IS. Calibration plots were linear over the range of 6-1000 ng/mL for azasetron hydrochloride in plasma. The lower limit of quantitation for azasetron hydrochloride was 6 ng/mL. The mean recovery of azasetron hydrochloride from plasma was in the range 85.6-92.7%. The RSDs of intra-day and inter-day precision were both less than 12%. This method is simple and sensitive enough to be used in pharmacokinetic research for determination of azasetron hydrochloride in rabbit plasma.
